Who knew putting Glue Dots and wrapped candy together would create a cute sweet treat? Designer Dawn did and she shows you how to make a chocolate candy mouse with Glue Dots and a few embellishments.

**Made by:** Dawn Mercedes Barrett  
**Time:** 15 minutes  
**Level:** Beginner  
**Size:** 3" x 3.5"

One way to show others we care about them is to make hand-made gifts. This sweet craft is a cute valentine for kids or adults to share with each other!

**Here's what you need:**

- [Ultra-Thin Glue Dots®](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1018?plpver=1002)
- [Mini Glue Dots®](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1015?plpver=1002)
- [Removable Glue Dots®](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1017?plpver=1002)
- Patterned Paper (Authentique: Delightful Collection)
- Valentine Sentiment Stamp
- Memento Black Ink
- 2 small googlie eyes
- 2 Hershey Kisses®
- 3" pink/white baker's twine
- Spellbinders Nestabilities Hearts and Scalloped Hearts
- Sizzix BigShot
- 1/2 circle punch
- Scissors
- Ruler

**Here's what you do:**

Select the two coordinating papers from your paper collection. Cut out a 3.5 " scallop heart using Spellbinders' Nestabilities: Scalloped Heart die. Cut out a 3.25 " heart using Spellbinders' Nestabilities Heart die.

Punch out two 1/2" circles using a circle punch. Tip: Use daubers and pink ink to sponge a little color to the edges of the circles. This will give your mouse ears a little definition and interest.

Tie a knot at the end of the pink baker's twine. Cut off a length of twine that is about 3" long.

![valentines-day-candy-mouse-step1.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/Archived%20Projects/Valentines%20Day/valentines-day-candy-mouse-step1.jpg?width=725&height=482&name=valentines-day-candy-mouse-step1.jpg)

Apply 3 Ultra-Thin Glue Dots to the base of one of the chocolates. Add the ears and then stick the second chocolate, base to base, to form a mouse shape. Use Mini Glue Dots to add the googlie eyes and baker's twine tail.

Stamp a valentine sentiment on half the heart using Memento black ink. Use Ultra-Thin Glue Dots to layer the 2 hearts on top of each other. Tip: This is a good time to write a note on the back of the heart, if desired.

Use Removable Glue Dots to adhere your mouse to the top of your valentine.

This is a fun way to create a valentine with a little bit of chocolate on it and a whole lot of cuteness too!
